nbn’s biggest internet upgrade: faster speeds for more Australians

nbn® has recently announced one of the most significant internet upgrades in Australia’s history, with over 9.8 million homes and businesses now eligible for faster broadband under the Accelerate Great program.

The network changes have accelerated wholesale speeds across selected Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) and Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC) plans, helping to meet the growing digital demands of home and businesses across Australia.

The new accelerated speeds:

  • nbn Home Fast II: Wholesale speeds increased from 100/20 Mbps to 500/50 Mbps, offering five times faster download speeds and more than double the upload speed.  
  • nbn Home Superfast: Wholesale speeds increased from 250/25 Mbps to 750/50 Mbps, offering three times faster download speed and double the upload speed.  
  • nbn Home Ultrafast1: Wholesale speeds increased from 500 to ~1000/50 Mbps to ~1000/100 Mbps, offering double the upload speed. 
  • nbn Home Hyperfast2: A new wholesale speed tier offering 2000/200 Mbps for those with FTTP connections and 2000/100 Mbps for HFC connections
  • nbn Business 2000 Pro2: A new wholesale plan offering 2000/500 Mbps for those with FTTP connections

Phone and internet providers have started making the accelerated speeds available to their customers.  For most eligible customers on applicable plans, the upgrade will be automatic. Customers are also advised to check their home internet setup.
